Paddy Twomey's Ruler Of France made it three wins from three visits to Ballinrobe when making all in the apprentice handicap.
Each of the victories at the Co Mayo track have been over an extended mile and one trip.
As with his other course successes, he did it from the front and kept finding for Killian Leonard to see off runner-up Lady Nathaniel by three parts of a length.
He was popular with punters who sent him off the 11/8 favourite from 13/8.
Lady Nathaniel kept on in second at 9/2. It was the same distance back to Military Hill in third at 13/2.
Killian Leonard, who rode out his claim, said: "He has course form around here and is tough. He is a handy horse who flies around the bends so the track suits him.
"He has plenty boot from the gates and you can let him stride for two furlongs and get him into a position. He'd have the rest of them stretched out behind him and that's the winning of his races."
